Scientific Photography -- student art portfolios -- Ph360

Students in the 'Scientific Photography' class each were required to submit a small'Artistic Portfolio' in addition to their technical projects. A few samples of this workappear below. This work was on display at The Houghton Gallery at The CooperUnion from Dec. 2 through Dec. 9, 2012.

Michael Pimpinella used the "Harris Shutter Technique" to produce photoslike the one below -- 3 consecutive photos have their color information cycledthrough red-green-blue and are then merged. The final image shows staticobjects 'normally' but moving objects appear 3 times with color variations.

Eric Leong was fascinated by "motion blur."

Ferdy Budhidharma painted with light. Here he took a "chaotic triple pendulum" whose motion is wild and unpredictable, and used colored lights to emphasizethe non-repeating character of the motion.

Joann Lee took the same photo repeatedly, from the same location, startingin the a.m. and continuing throughout the day. The final merged photo showsthe evolution in the street scene during the course of one day.
